I still think he is quoting you the wrong ballast or just a bare ballast... take the part number I gave you and demand only that number with all the parts. tell him you don't care if it will work with out a starter.. it is harder on the bulbs with out the starter. The problem is all thease places are only used to dealing with North american bulbs and do not have much experiance with the european design so they think they all have starters..

Yes a bulb will light with out a starter but it stresses the bulb needlessly.. this is why a lot of the LFS and places in Canada think that it is perfectly ok for a 10000K bulb to take 2 or more atempts to start..
